Sniper Rifle
Rarity: Ultimate
Introduced: Launch
Even among the Descendants, there existed especially exceptional snipers. However, there was a lack of research on specialized weapons for these talented snipers. Only recently was a new weapon announced that contained many of the current technologies.
The new weapon was the "Afterglow Sword." It was named to commemorate Neil Neldor, the legendary sniper nicknamed the Nightmare Reaper. It boasts high accuracy and lethality, making it the perfect weapon to strike fear into an enemy's heart.
This weapon uses the new .377 Afterglow Rounds. The bullet penetrates the enemy with razor-sharp precision and burrows into the body to inflict a mortal wound. It was clearly made to celebrate a reaper.
